CURRENT CAMPAIGN - SENIORS CARE UPDATES Our newest campaign is an ambitious two year project running from 2023-2025. This two-phase project focuses on Seniors Care, and has a price tag of $280,000. Sundre has a Senior population 30% higher than the Alberta average. This campaign aims to replace beds, update rooms, add ceiling lifts, purchase more blanket and towel warmers, and several portable oxygen concentration monitors, among other things.

When you donate to Sundre Hospital Futures, you can ask that your funds be directed to Acute Care, Long Term Care, Palliative Care, Obstetrics, Medical team Recruitment and Retention, the Joanne Overguard Memorial Fund (for the new hospital), or simply to what the Foundation considers its "Greatest Needs".
Rest assured that every dollar will be strategically invested into leading edge technology and patient care enhancement.
MOST RECENT - BARIATRIC ROOM Thanks to an anonymous donation of $100,000.00, a new service will soon be available in our hospital. Too often a large patient must be sent off to a city
hospital, because our beds, lifts, and even chairs aren't rated for very heavy people. We are in the process of ordering "Bariatric" equipment (capable of weights of 450+ pounds) to outfit one acute care room and place a stronger lift in Long Term Care. Thank you to this very generous local family for making this possible!
MOST RECENT - PORTABLE DIGITAL IMAGING Our 2022 campaign was to purchase portable Digital Imaging equipment. We announced our goal of $200,000 at the November 2022 Gala. Two weeks later a generous, community-minded couple donated the full amount! We are excited to announce the equipment is now in full use!
WHAT WE'VE DONE Besides being committed to attracting and retaining health professionals and quality facilities in the community of Sundre, the group has funded several different projects in its relatively short existence.
Labour-delivery sleeper chair
Labour-delivery equipment cart for the recently renovated delivery room
Bariatric lift
Electrocardiographic stretcher
Bili meter to measure light emissions from phototherapy systems
We look forward to continuing our story in this community and together, making a difference.
OUR "WISH LIST" Our work is not done. It is important we keep up with the leading technological advancements - not just for current patient care needs, but to give our physicians and support staff the tools they need to provide the top quality health care services our community needs.
